A series of events is being held to raise awareness of the skills required under the Green Deal, the government's flagship policy for improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
 
The Green Deal Connections events are free and UK-wide, and will benefit those working in energy assessment, advice and installation.
 
They are being organised by the Green Deal Alliance (GDSA) partnership made up of three Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) - Asset Skills, ConstructionSkills and SummitSkills.
 
Richard Beamish, Chief Executive of Asset Skills, said: ‘The government is committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050. It is crucial that you attend this event if you want to remain at the forefront of the Green Deal and acquire the necessary information on the skills and accreditations needed to advise on and install new green technologies.’
